Was there another public school in the area? When I was in MD and in FL it was this way. You goto the school in the district you live. If you don't like it you move. I know tons of people who had their parents drive them to work and use fake addresses to goto other schools but I can't stand that. I

Well, what concerns me is your use of the word 'free' here. I mean, do you mean free as in without cost or do you mean free as in absent of restriction on liberties. We have the latter with big government but not the former, and I see nothing wrong with promoting a greater good by paying taxes (wi

So, I got an offer to join the columbia house dvd club. The deals looks good enough. But one thing bugs me. They gave me this giant collection of stamps with DVD movies, and maybe 3 or 4 are marked "Widescreen" or "Fullscreen." How in the hell are you supposed to tell what format the movies are in?

The solution to all of our problems are People Turbines. A People Turbine is a big wheel that people push in a circle to generate electricity - kind of like the Conan the Barbarian movie where they would spin the wheel for years only to make it a booby trap that would spin around and kill somebody.

the key word in that statement is quality, which is incompatible with a government-run school in my opinion. I do agree with the part about freely available. I would like to see a proliferation of charter schools, personally. Dana >I don't care who runs it - I just said it should be FREELY availa
